I need a on, 6-paned window frame for a project for a class. I looked on craigslist, but the search was fruitless. Does anyone know of some good spots to look for that kind of thing? Would anyone happen to be selling one? Since I am a college student, I'd rather keep this inexpensive.

And a bunch more. They seem have the more expensive leaded and stained windows on the websites but you should be able to find a plain mult-paned sash at the sites.posted by octothorpe at 6:33 PM on November 30, 2009

Talk to somebody that does window replacements. Old wooden sashes routinely end up in dumpsters.posted by jon1270 at 6:38 PM on November 30, 2009

Salvage One is fantastic, I love going there just to browse. They do specialize in higher-end items, but I'd start by calling them, if they don't have what you need they can point you in the right direction.posted by susanvance at 7:22 PM on November 30, 2009

Craigslist. The listing is about to expire. You can post your own ad (for the windows) under the wanted section. You'll get plenty of responses.

This. When I lived in Chicago, one day my artist-neighbor showed up at our building with a bunch of old windows he'd found in an alley.

Anyone looking at this for schmancy interior decorating purposes: Architectural Artifacts would probably have some great stuff, but it would likely be pricier than a college student's budget would allow.posted by Meg_Murry at 6:11 AM on December 1, 2009
